1. Unzip the downloaded release, and change the name of the folder to navbar if it is not already named navbar.2. In the ext directory of your phpBB board, create a new directory named vipaka (if it does not already exist).3. Copy the navbar folder to phpBB/ext/vipaka/.4. Navigate in the ACP to Customise -> Manage extensions.5. Look for Navigation Buttons Extensions under the Disabled Extensions list, and click its Enable link to install.6. Enable and configure Navigation Buttons Extension by navigating in the ACP to Extensions -> Navigation Buttons Extension -> Settings.

Additional Notes: Currently this extension uses a traditional dropdown menu, slider menu, and phpbb-style menu, the CSS for which is located in ./ext/vipaka/navbar/styles/all/theme/dropdown.css (feel free to modify it as you please).

CSS Helpers:
Remove the line text-decoration: none from any of those files to restore a red underline to the links.

Replace list-style: none; or list-style-type: none; with list-style: circle; or list-style: square; to add bullets to each link. In the phpbb style, you will also need to remove or rearrange the padding and display tags.

Replace or add font-weight: bold; to any of the a tags where you want the font to be bolded.

Elderly/less able people find the current 'drop downs' difficult to use.

Larger button size would be good

You can change the font size using the additional notes at the bottom, go into the dropdown CSS file and change font-size 1.2em to something larger like 2.0em. It should automatically resize the links to fit the font size increase. Hope that helps.
Edit: Also I'll be including more css files later that offer various different styles for the navigation menu (horizontal menu, button-shaped menu...probably with an ACP or UCP option to flip between them.)

Would it be possible to move the bar be above quicklinks/board index ect?

Actually no, there is no event in 3.1 (as far as I can tell) that lets you use the area above the quicklinks but below the logo/site description. Unfortunate, because that's originally where I wanted to put the menu.

BTW. when I open lang file in Notepadd++ a plenty of language variables aren't under each other, but on one or two lines.

@ The language variables I'm kind of a slob when it comes to programming (duct tape programmer). The final version when I submit it for release will have cleaned up files, I'll try to make the language file better by the time this goes into Beta.

Internal Server Errors are typically triggered by the server you're using, not the codes (in almost every case). Check your server host (localhost/bluehost/godaddy whatever) to see if there is an error log you can find to debug. If it happens only when you try to enable this extension it could be an incompatibility issue (database running older version of MySQL or something that doesn't recognize the syntax).

Thank you for reply.
It only happens with this extension (I installed on my testing board around 15+ extensions).
In extension details is php version >=5.3.3, but I didn't find information about MySQL (I use 5.5.37-cll).
I will ask my host where I could find the error log.

Something went wrong during the request and an exception was thrown. The changes made before the error occurred were reversed to the best of our abilities, but you should check the board for errors.
The migration "\vipaka\navbar\migrations\release_1_0_2" is not fulfillable, missing migration "\vipaka\navbar\migrations\release_1_0_0".
